[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD is high stats and has zero desire to attend college with a bunch grinders on the spectrum. These are the kind of classes that the T20 have cultivated with their excessive EC requirements and focus on "pointy". [/quote]

WTF are ”grinders in the spectrum?”[/quote]

DP. Half the Ivy kids. Tons in Silicon Valley. [/quote]

I wish I knew as much as people on here, to have such astute observations and firsthand knowledge of literal percentages of a student bodies at eight different schools.

Or, your kid is just average. It’s okay, mine is too. [/quote]

I think you just need to go on a few top20 college tours to see this played out in front of you.  It's pretty obvious when you see the kids. 
It's even more apparent at accepted student events. My kid committed to an Ivy and we recently went to an accepted student summer reception and I would say that 75% of the kids I talked to were on the spectrum. [/quote]

This is what the AOs want, this is what they get. We saw it too. There was no way my DC would have been happy at one of these schools. We visited many top 20 schools. Dartmouth was one of a handful of top 20 schools that had more of a “normal, smart kid” vibe, but the rural isolation was just too much. My social, really smart kid opted for a top public flagship. I wonder of the professors and AOs notice how the school population and vibe has changed so drastically? [/quote]

Dartmouth was one of a handful of top 20 schools that had more of a “normal, midwit kid” vibe (emended)

IQ~130+ would appear to common denizens as on the spectrum… it is what it is.
